Situated amid existing canals and a new man made lake,
the undulating office building interacts with an augmented ground
plane, joining architecture to landscape, and environment to
site.

The Giant Campus project is a compact village that accommodates
diverse functions in a flexible framework of forms that move in and
out of a folded landscape plane.

The East Campus office building contains three zones: open,
non-hierarchical office space; private offices, and executive
suites, which cantilever dramatically over the lake. Additional
program is integrated into the lifted landscape, including a
library, an auditorium, an exhibition space, and a café on the east
campus.

On the West Campus, additional program space-submerged below an
expansive, undulating green roof- includes a pool, a multi-purpose
sports court, and additional relaxation and fitness spaces for
employees.

The landform culminates to the west at a company guest hotel
where glass-floored private bedroom suites project over a wildlife
pond.

Several plazas, carved from the landscape, provide outdoor break
and recreational spaces for employees. At the south edge of the
campus, a pedestrian plaza steps down to the water's edge in a
continuous outdoor walkway that provides pedestrian access to the
lake. The main circulation spine, an enclosed walkway located
outboard of the office building, bridges over the street connecting
the east and west campuses.Photo: Iwan Baan

A range of features on the project maximize both energy
efficiency and occupant comfort. The West Campus's landscaped green
roof provides thermal mass that limits the heat gain and reduces
cooling expenditures. The facade's double skin and insulated glass
curtain wall minimize solar heat gain and improve overall
efficiency.

The central circulation spine, along with the recreational
amenities and plazas provide opportunities for chance encounters
and places for employees to gather without the confines of cubicles
or unnecessary divisions. The narrow profile of the office building
combined with a system of skylights ensure that employees have
continuous access to natural daylight.
